Maintenance
Good maintenance is essential for safe, economical, and trouble free operation. This not only ensures that your
engine is at its optimum in fuel ef
fi
ciency, but maintains the engine in order to minimize the risk of breakdowns.
This will save you money in the long run, as worn items can be spotted sooner, saving further problems.
Maintenance Schedule
The maintenance schedule applies to normal operating conditions. If you operate your generator under severe
conditions, such as sustained high-load or high-temperature operation, or use it in unusually dusty conditions,
consult your servicing dealer for recommendations applicable to your individual needs and use.
